Jazz/blues experts? need help!?
I agreed to play a gig in two days time, its for charity so i cant pull out, im pretty good at improvising, the gig is mostly jazzy stuff, but im not that great at jazz, i play stuff like chitlins con carne and small walk in the box, does anyone know any songs similar to these, like easy to play but with a distinctive melody?

Assassin is dead on about Summertime.
Others: Hoagy Carmichael's "Blue Skies", "All Of Me" and "Stardust", fun melodies open to improvisation.
If you can find the sheet music or a recording of the original Ray Charles' "Drown In My Own Tears" you'll have another song with wide latitude.

I'm a blues girl, but you could do something by Kenny G, like by the time this night is over. Or a classic, like what a wonderful world.
